Seems simple to me. Stay out of the drama. The fact that she's a nurse is irrelevant. You didn't SEE her take/abuse narcotics, so really it's none of ur business. I find it really interesting that she called ur boyfriend askin for said drugs. Why/how would he have access to them. Since your a nurse and with him, what should we now assume about YOU?

If you have not personally seen/witnessed the drug use, you are assuming based on his word. And he is not an unbiased reporter.

Yes, OP needs to be careful here.
That's why I mentioned hiring a PI.
Very often, folks will hire a PI because they are dead sure that the ex is doing drugs around the kids (or something like that).
These folks get all excited because they can't wait for the PI to "get the goods" on that Crazy Ex...
Only to find out the only evidence the PI has is video footage of the Crazy Ex lovingly buckling Jr. into his car-seat, carefully driving him to the park and, basically, just being a good parent all day.
Tread lightly before you threaten someone's livelihood... or worse... parenthood.

I'll tell you who you need to call and it's not the Board of Nursing...you need to call Social Services because if she is a hard-core addict, they will make her take a drug test and as long as your boyfriend is clean, the baby will go STRAIGHT to him.

This isn't a legal issue, it's a child protection issue.

Tell him not to fall for the BS. When you are on the right side of things, you shouldn't have anything to fear.
